Depending on the product, with a water vapour barrier tailored precisely to your application.
Risk: Moisture penetrates, causing the product to lose its crispness.
Solution: A barrier coating whose water vapour transmission rate we tailor to the requirements of your product.
Verification: Measurement of the water vapour transmission rate (WVTR at 23 °C and 50 per cent relative humidity) and testing using samples of your product.
Freshness that lasts
Chilled food
Paper-based barrier solutions help to reliably protect chilled foodstuffs throughout the entire cold chain. They ensure product quality and freshness and can withstand fluctuating temperatures and humidity.
With barrier paper, precisely tailored to the product, process and cold-chain logistics.
The brand promise
The packaging does more than just protect the product
It preserves freshness, quality and safety throughout the entire cold chain. This ensures that the product experience, shelf appeal and trust in the brand are maintained, even when temperature and humidity fluctuate.
Depending on the application, the solutions are recyclable, suitable for machine processing and approved for food contact.
The most frequently asked question is: Can barrier paper perform the same functions as plastic packaging?
Your benefits
Paper-based packaging with a reduced plastic content is high-performance, suitable for machine processing and recyclable. Thanks to its strong barrier properties, it reliably protects your products, whilst you benefit from a high-quality surface, good printability, stable machine operation and reliable sealability.

Tried and tested, because every application is different
The proof of application
-
How does paper protect against damp?
-
How does paper retain fat and flavour?
Depending on the product, with barrier coatings against grease and oxygen.
Risk: Grease seeps through; oxygen alters flavour and quality.
Solution: A combined grease and oxygen barrier, with an additional MOSH/MOAH barrier on request.
Verification: KIT test for the grease barrier, OTR measurement for the oxygen barrier, and testing using samples of your product. -
Can paper be processed on existing packaging lines?
Our barrier films are optimised for existing packaging lines. Major modifications are not usually necessary.
Risk: Malfunctions during forming, sealing or filling.
Solution: Where necessary, we adapt the process and individual components, such as the mould shoulder.
Verification: Machine trials under real-world conditions. -
How recyclable are barrier papers?
Barrier papers are verifiably recyclable and assessed in accordance with a recognised standard.
Risk: Uncertain disposal and regulatory risks, such as those arising from the EU Packaging Directive (PPWR).
Solution: Depending on the product, a paper content of 80–95 per cent and a material-efficient coating that separates cleanly from the fibre during recycling.
Verification: Assessment in accordance with CEPI 4evergreen.
